FAQs about WEp1 :

Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

Will the reviewers accept a spreadsheet as a plumbing fixture schedule in lieu of the plans from the Construction Documents?

In LEED review comments I've been referred to the Water Use Reduction Additional Guidance document. I didn't know this was a required reference document.

Should I include bar sinks? What about mop sinks or janitor sinks? Swimming pools? Safety showers? Bidets? Tub spouts?

We provided new showers in our project to comply with the alternative transportation credit. Should they be considered in WEp1 calculations?

Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?

Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?

Our project does not have any eligible water fixtures in the project boundary. Can we comply with WEp1?

We are having trouble finding EPAct-compliant fixtures. Is that a problem?

Where can I find a clear meaning of "public" and "private" as relevant to lavatory faucets?

Our project is a factory with historically a 95% male workforce. The restroom design accounts for this. Can I argue that the male/female gender ratio is different than 50/50?

Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?

Has anyone considered reducing the water flow for water fixtures used in ablution/mosques? Are these subject for water reduction to achieve this credit or will this be considered as process water similar treatment for process loads in energy? Thanks in advance for the responses.

The inclusion or exclusion of ablution or prayer room sinks are at the project team’s discretion. If included, ensure that you provide a narrative and calculations to support the anticipated usage rate. Unless the fixture is a showerhead, the baseline should reflect a public lavatory faucet.

Hey Both, In one my mosque project i have an issue while using indoor water use reduction calculator. As the devotees comes to the mosque 5 times daily so, do i have to take 5 uses per day in other category of indoor water use reduction category instead of using default use category.
